Patent CA-2401144-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WRIGHT CHRISTOPHER J
IPC: B23K26/08
Filed: 2002-08-29
Abstract: Disclosed herein is a laser welding system having a travel path to carry a first blank and a second blank. An upstream clamp assembly and a downstream clamp assembly are positioned on the travel path and each of the upstream and downstream clamp assemblies are movable to an open position to allow the first blank to pass through the upstream clamp assembly to a first location within the downstream clamp assembly. A laser welding source is directed at a weld location on the travel path between the upstream and downstream clamp assemblies. At least one locating means is operable to locate the first weld edge adjacent the weld location. A first displacement means displaces the first weld edge against the locating means. The downstream clamp assembly is movable from the open position to a closed clamped position to clamp the first blank with the first weld edge adjacent the weld location. The locating means is operable to be withdrawn from the travel path. The upstream clamp assembly is movable from the open position to an intermediate position, which is selected to guide the second blank to pass through the upstream clamp assembly in a substantially coplanar relationship with the first blank so that the second weld edge makes contact with, but not past, the first weld edge. A second displacement means displaces the second blank to a location adjacent the weld location where the second weld edge abuts the first weld edge. The upstream clamp assembly is movable from the intermediate position to a closed clamped position to clamp the second blank and the - the laser welding source is operable to fuse the first and second weld edges blanks together.

Title: Means for remotely ejecting the blade of a meat skinning machine
Inventor: WONDERLICH WILLIAM J
IPC: A22C17/12
Filed: 2001-06-29
Abstract: A mechanism for ejecting a cutting blade from a knife assembly in a meat skinning machine includes a shoe with a supporting surface for the blade and a releasable clamping assembly for clamping the cutting blade to the supporting surface. The clamping assembly includes a clamp and releasable fasteners. Together the shoe and clamp form an elongated open slot adjacent to the blade when clamped together by the fasteners. A pair of ejectors extend into the slot and are slidably mounted with respect to the shoe and the clamp so as to engage the blade. The ejectors can be pushed into the blade to eject the blade when the clamp is released. The ejectors are rigid elongated rods longitudinally spaced along the edge of the blade opposite the cutting edge. The ejector rods include a guide bulb thereon, with cam surfaces thereon to engage and lift the clamp when moved rearwardly to lift the loosened clamp from the blade.

Title: Hybridization buffers using low molecular weight dextran sulfate and methods for their use
Inventor: CHRISTENSEN KIMBERLY
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2002-01-29
Abstract: This invention demonstrates that lower molecular weight dextran sulfate is an effective volume exclusion agent of hybridization reactions. The hybridization buffers of this invention utilize smaller polymers of dextran sulfate, and thus are of a lower viscosity than conventional hybridization buffers that use higher molecular weight dextran sulfate polymers as volume exclusion agents. The lower viscosity of these low molecular weight dextran sulfate polymer buffers makes them useful for automated hybridization processes as in dispensing, automated flow, and mixing on slide.
